Communicating With The Remote Gateway - Toro DEC-RS-1000-DR Installation And User Manual

Communicating with the Remote Gateway

A personal computer running Toro's "Lynx" software is necessary to use the Remote Gateway. The Remote Gateway allows
Lynx software to control over 9,000 sprinkler heads with individual precision.
The Lynx computer is attached to a Field Interface Unit (FIU) which sends commands to the Remote Gateways throughout
the golf course.
There are two ways for the FIU to communicate with Remote Gateways: by Wireline or by radio. This document shows
three typical layouts making use of one or both methods.
Layout 1 - Local
The Gateway is attached to the Field Interface Unit by a Wireline. The Gateway typically resides in the office with the Lynx
computer and FIU.
